Species: Tapinauchenius gigas
Reported by: Sitehnd@... (Brian Whiteley was the one bitten)
"As some of you may have heard Brian Whiteley got bitten on the tip of his finger while catching a male Tap. gigas during the monthly San Francisco Tarantula Gathering at my home. This is a pic of the bite just after it happened. He reported that the pain stopped very soon and it didn't bother him at all. But a day or 2 later he reported swelling. Brian please post a pic if possible."

"This is a pic of the spider's fangs that bit Brian Whitely. Needle sharp. Only 1 fang penetrated tho. This is a male Tap. gigas. The last spider to bite Brian was also a male Tap. gigas. Apparently they are squirmy little boogers."
